    I’m loving your videos! But, brother, you and me are from different planets! 😜 I wish I had your budget, though! My key management is a split ring and I made a leather fob. Snaps for belt hanging. Car keys are separate. No key ring blades. My pen is a chubby Cuban I turned on a lathe. Flashlight is a Fenix - 5 white modes. 10-1500 lumens, plus red and green. Too big to wear. Wallet. Old leather job that looks like a brick. Going to make another. Kinda small biker. Wood watches cost me $50/ea. Condor Wendigo for my knife. (Ordered.) replacing my krakatoa. I think the big distinction between you and me is my backpack(s). I have many. My edc is in my bag (sometimes my pockets) as such I lean to bigger and heavier items. No multi tools. Multiple tools. My work pack has laptops, cables, adapters, disks and drives. My play bag has the stuff we both like! It also has a cz-75. I usually don’t wear that at work. I liked your bit about the finer points of flashlights. I agree but not fully. I mean, you have a much deeper understanding of flashlights. I have 7 options and use 3. I use 2 90% of the time. There are watch aficionados who would hate my wooden ones. I like cheap but good stuff. Like condor knives. Wood Forest watches. I also like to make stuff. It’s not great. But it means a lot to me. My whole kit is probably well under $500. I’ll have to price it out. Thanks again for the great videos! Cheers!

    Pardon me, for being crass, but how can people afford to carry such expensive gear around? I have trouble keeping cheap gear, with out people trying to make it theirs. I once had a nice but inexpensive pen, that I loaned to a customer's employee, and the guy put it in his pocket and walked off with it, before I realized he was gone. That particular pen was a limited edition, that is no longer for sale anymore and I have yet to find another one.

    Does anyone carry a bandana in their back pocket for their EDC?. I use one everyday to wipe and clean . I don't leave home without it. Takes up ZERO space and very useful .

  • @chukulan
    @chukulan 2 года назад +1

    Honestly, the little o-ring on the key holder says "bad design" to me. If you have to add an o-ring to keep things from falling off, then the clip is ineffectual in and of itself. Just my opinion. It would be much cleaner without it. But then of course, things could fall off.

    Hey Taylor,
    I bought a Tough Clip because of your recommendation and have had it since December 2021.
    Can’t thank you enough for advertising that product. Jamie did an amazing job with the simplistic design. Great quality and very durable.
    It replaced every other dangler or carabiner that I’ve used in the past. I don’t go anywhere without it.

  • @Genesis992
    @Genesis992 2 года назад +4

    The lights are neato, but I don’t think an Emisar D4v2, FWAA, or SP10 Pro can be beaten.
    Anduril is the best software I’ve used and the more I’ve used it, the less I’ve been interested in other lights.
    Only other light that gets carried is a RovyVon for my keychain.

    • @m4jqp
      @m4jqp 2 года назад +1

      I love those lights too. The only downside (for the tail switch one anyway) is the e-switch. For real though, if the d4v2 got an actual good deep carry clip, it’d be beast.

    • @BestDamnEDC
      @BestDamnEDC  2 года назад

      Anduril is awesome and powerful, but for daily use, I just prefer having something simple and straightforward. I really enjoy the FW3T I have, but end up grabbing these instead.

    @MichaelR-kl6hk 2 года назад +4

    Personally I like your contant on high end flashlights. I carry a little brass Maratac aaa twist top light about 90% of the time, I don't feel the need for more, but I find those high end options interesting to know about. It's like high end watches, not something I'm looking for but seeing what's out there is cool. Really enjoy the channel.

    • @FreedomFox1
      @FreedomFox1 2 года назад +1

      The copper Maratac aaa is my favorite keychain light. With the patina it looks like an antique ship instrument. I also like the Eagtac d3a in titanium, a compact clicky aa. It has an excellent UI and a better clip than the Maratac (I clip it to my shirt for hands-free work). I’ve had reliability issues with a number of lights recently, but these two have never let me down. I also agree, I’d love to hear more about the high end stuff!

      I’m wondering the same. An example of how the key clip sits when hooked on a pant loop would be helpful for me. I’m considering it for my work keys but not sure how many a guy can fit on one as I have several and want them to reach my pocket from plant loop so they’re not making noise while walking.

  • @jaredj631
    @jaredj631 Год назад +1

    I think my flashlight philosophy is completely different. It’s the flashlight I wanted cost $300 I’d still buy it. However the one I’ve been edc-ing for 12 years runs about $25 now. When it first came out it was about 85$ it is a on off AAA 25 lumin. Flashlight. The function I like about it is the lens. Pulled back it is extremely even clear light for close to work. And it does OK as a spotlight too when the lens is adjusted. It has a hat clip. I use at least one to two hours every single day that I am working. It might be my most indispensable tool

  • @JavierBonillaC

    Get the screwpop knife and put it with your keys. I can’t believe that’s not everywhere. If I get stopped with it at an airport, and I don’t, I tell them to throw away the disposable part and just keep the screwpop. Pens? Get a bic. Fire? Get a bic. Shaving? You guessed it. Nothing like the old times when people had one thing of each for decades. If you have to theorize about all these things, develop a new skill. Much better use of time

      Its a phenomenal multitool and nothing in it's size comes close to it. I love it just about as much as my Leatherman Free P2 and Wave+. It's so compact, but has every tool i basically ever need. I just wish it had magnets to keep it closed like the P2 does, but that's the only gripe i have about it. When it's on my Grip6 belts, it can come "apart" and open. Not the tools though, just the frame/handles.
      For the price and size, i dare you to find something better 😉👍

If you don’t think automatic knives are the coolest you are lying to yourself.

    I think that many of us (knife, EDC guys) will spend 80 to 100 bucks on a nice flashlight, but 450 bucks is a bit of a different story. It may be just me but a $100 flashlight feels equal in range to a $200 knife. I feel like a $450 flashlight is equal to the $800 knife to most of us EDC enthusiasts. Maybe only because you can get almost every single Bell and whistle on a flashlight for a hundred bucks. There are plenty of enthusiast flashlights that you could talk about just like knives. You don't have to avoid talking about them, just include more of the range of what's available. No offense but not talking about flashlights because you want to only talk about the $400 ones is a bit of a cop out, 😁.

    That wallet. First heard of it while watching your channel. It was love at first sight. Missed the drops a few times but finally managed to land one which hopefully is in the mail on the way! Keep up the great reviews!

    The one EDC watch everyone sleeps on or knows nothing about is the Casio Oceanus S100 series.
    Titanium case and band, sapphire crystal, and the same Casio Tough Movement in most of their dialed-out G-Shock watches but in something that does *not* look like a G-Shock. You could wear this thing to a wedding and then go to the range and dump a few thousand rounds downrange and it won't affect it one bit. Not to mention it sync up with the atomic clock wireless every night as well as can easily jump between time zones in seconds, far faster than any other watch on the market. Lume is incredible on it. And it's solar so no worrying about batteries as well as 100m w/r.
    And I guarantee it's one of the lightest watches on the market due to it's all-titanium build. And right now it's going for anywhere between $350-$500 depending on where you get it.
    Backup analog watch is a Manchester Watch Works "Rattler" automatic watch. Titanium case, sapphire crystal, superluminova lume that charges easily and lasts all night, hand-wind or auto, screw-down crown with 100m w/r and uses the venerable NH35 movement with shock resistance. I've hand-calibrated mine to keep within a few seconds of atomic time. Too bad the company doesn't exist anymore and the watch is no longer made, but that NH35 movement means it's easily serviced or repaired at pretty much any watch servicing business in my area.
